Orwell grew up in what he considered a less fortunate family when it came to money. Just days after the birth of his only son, Orwell's father, Richard Blair, retired from his post as a minor Indian Customs official with a small pension. The lack of wealth in his family caused Orwell to view the world along different class lines. Everyone and everything Orwell faced in his early life he immediately judged based on their place in the various financial levels of society. He found it a huge misfortune to classify his own family as “lower-upper middle class”. (British Writers, V7, 273-276)Orwell attended a small preparatory school on the south coast of Bengal, where he felt out of place because the other students at the school were much better off than he was. Because of the way he saw the world through...... middle of paper ......iter in the sense that he knew how to make readers think the same way he did, through the characters that they followed. The last months of his life were spent with his second wife, Sonia Brownell. He had known her for several years because she was an editorial assistant at Horizon magazine, which had helped publish some of his essays. Orwell planned to continue writing, but to break away from his political works and focus more on dealing with human relationships. He actually started writing a new story in his modified writing style, but was never able to finish it. On January 23, 1950, at the age of forty-six, Orwell died from a tuberculosis hemorrhage. Even though he was unable to continue writing, George Orwell will always be remembered as one of the most unique and talented writers in the history of his time (Orwell, Shelden).
